12 September 2026 (lost in the stars)

lost in the stars . . .

distant flight calls

of migrating birds

30 August 2026 (the lilt)

the lilt

of the wren’s song

writing this poem

26 August 2026 (fog hides the mountain)

fog hides the mountain

one crow

won’t shut up

25 August 2026 (warm summer night)

warm summer night . . .

we turn down the TV

to hear an owl

18 August 2026 (morning blue jays)

morning blue jays

the sirens stop

in our neighborhood

8 July 2026 (high noon)

high noon

crossbills chipping

in the sprucetops

27 June 2026 (morning fog)

morning fog

in my mind I’m going to

Carolina wren song

22 June 2026 (the wren singing)

the wren singing every minute longest day

14 June 2026 (forest gloaming)

forest gloaming . . .

a host of white moths

rises on thrushsong

8 June 2026 (under a sky full of stars)

under a sky full of stars

the night bird’s

incessant cries

7 June 2026 (rain or poplars)

rain or poplars . . .

suddenly in the dark

birdsong
